Eviction was a terrible thing during the Famine, it was when people could not pay their rent for their houses .
The landlords were incharge of collecting the rents and if you couldn't pay the rent you were thrown out of your house. As if your house. As if life wasn't hard enough. Over a quater of a million people were evicted between 1849 and 1845. They would try to live in places such as behind a broken wall, behind a ditch, a fence, a bog and they were all unfit for a human life. Some people would try ton get into a workhouses just for a proper burial. The mahon family, strockestown house in 1847 evicted 3,000 people and were still able to dine on lobster soup. After Clare, co.mayo was the worst place to be for the famine. The worst landlords were Earl of Lucan.
